New Acquisitions Thread (image heavy)

I'm most definitely going to take that deal. I proposed him to buy 4 boxes at $20 each. He then said "80 bucks? For that amount you can have all 6 of them." Can't argue with that 8). Lucky you, cause i was watching that PQ2 on eBay aswell .

I was bidding on KQ1 SCI a week ago. There were 2 of them: one with only 5.25" disks (might that be yours?) and a sealed one with both disk types. Missed out on the second when the bids went over $40. It will show up again i'm sure. Got Silpheed about 2 months ago, from an Australien seller. Paid $20 for it if i remember correctly. Shipping was also about $20, but that's only normal considering it came from the other side of the planet. $50 shipping is a rip-off. Those kind of sellers just hope an innocent buyer doesn't check the shipping and grabs the bait.

I got the KQ for $.99 and it was with 3.5" disks. The box is in perfect shape. I wish eBay would set some standards for listings, like no stock photos, included items must be prominently listed, i.e. no cropped Moby Games photo with a "CD in case only" buried at the bottom of the page.

[Rudy]

In case you're interested in Silpheed, there's one right now at a starting bid of $9.99 and cheap shipping, located in the USA. Boxed with manuals and both disk types. Auction ends in 5 or 6 days.
Bidders looking for the game by the title probably won't find it, since he mistyped it

Thanks, it is in my watched items.

A couple more.

Oil's Well (remake)

An gem from On-Line Systems, Crossfire for Apple II. It also includes a catalog from On-Line Systems (not pictured).

[Collector]

I snagged this for $1.99:

[Rudy]

Only $1.99? Very cheap indeed. The Crossfire floppy was cheap too for an On-Line Systems game, only $34.33. Normally On-Line systems go for at least $50, on average $100 and sometimes a LOT more. Check for example this one out. Softporn Adventure by On-Line Systems. First time i see it listed. Unfortunately the price is a wee bit over the top...

[Collector]

Ouch! And it is one that I do look for, as it is start of Larry. Oh well. The Mickey had a 'Buy it now" option, so I jumped on it.

[Rudy]

I wouldn't go for $500 either. Softporn Adventure was a bestseller for its time, due to its controversial nature. It is rare, but not unlikely to pop up again every now and then.
BTW, if you find another Disney title for a low price and you don't intend to bid on it yourself, please let me know .

[Collector]

Well I just got the last Disney title I was missing, Winnie The Pooh In the Hundred Acres Wood unopened for $3.99.

[Collector]

SCORE!!!


SQI AGI (Tawmis, next one is yours) SQII and SQIII. Got all three as a lot for $40.00. and only $6.95 shipping for all three. Not bad, considering that SQ1AGI can easily go for more than that by itself.






Had the Sierra Originals CD release, but now I have the original floppy release, complete with the compass.


Another Coktel Visions game:


And finally, another Dynamix:

SCORE!!!

I would heart you forever.

Those Space Quests look familiar
If i may ask, how much did you pay for that Ecoquest 2, Collector? On eBay they're trying to sell those for about $150 with buy-it-now.

[Collector]

I got it on Amazon for $39.88. I usually don't like to get the old games from Amazon since it is so much harder to tell exactly what you are buying, but for Ecoquest 2 for that price with box I couldn't not get it.
